Trophy Gardens Birding

We currently have a couple of bird feeding areas set up in the park and the birds are finding them. I was up by the one that is near the front gate early this evening and it was busy with both Red-winged Blackbirds and Northern Mockingbirds. They are enjoying the seeds as well as the water drip. Across the street in the Butterfly Garden is a hummingbird feeder and it looks to me like the syrup in it is going down so I'm assuming the hummingbirds have found it.

If you are interested in birding the Rio Grande Valley is a mecca for birders and Trophy Gardens is pretty centrally located to access many of the "hot" birding spots around the valley in addition to having a variety of birds right here in the resort. Because this is Valentine's Day I thought I would post one more photo that I took last year, not in this park but on February 17 which was close enough to Valentine's Day that they reminded me of love-birds. There are several varieties of parrots and parakeets down here and these are Red-crowned Parrots. I have seen flocks of parrots fly over Trophy but at least thus far, none have landed.
